I think Federal contracting will soon shrink along with salaries in the DC area. There is probably a salary bubble in DC on the verge of popping. When I worked as a contractor for the Feds you had guys making 85K a year doing shyt jobs like desktop support. But with government contract awards getting smaller due to sequestration who can afford to keep these guys on the contract while keeping margins high.

I ate good for a few years on Federal contracting then bolted back to the private sector. Dudes who stuck around thinking the gravy train would never end are starting to regret it. It's happening all across the country and will hit the DC area soon enough. That government shut down was just a taste of things to come.

The whites are coming from the suburbs back into the city and pushing the Blacks out. You would only see whites in certain parts of town but now they're all over WITH NO FEAR! They're purchasing homes and moving into new apartment/condo developments which are bring them in droves. I guess buying houses was too slow of a process so they began to build apts/condos for them which is faster to sell and brings them en masse.

Those whites who now populate DC ain't from this area. Whites born and raised in Mo, Va, and elsewhere, don't move to the city, for most part, they still have a healthy fear of DC.
